My Project

I'm a special education teacher working in Brownsville, Brooklyn and I would love to create the perfect cozy corner for her self contained classroom. I currently have 12 students in grades K-2. I would like to create a cozy corner so my students can have an area to calm down and release any tension they have from being over stimulated or upset. A cozy corner in a classroom is ideal for students with special needs. The laptop desk is to give me and my paraprofessional accessiblity to teach while mointering students in the cozy corner.
